LA DIOSA ➪ RICHIE GECKO

T W E L V E. ↴| ✔

Seth pulls around and parks the RV. We all get up, looking out of the window. On a big sign above the building, it says the words 'The Titty Twister.'

"You brought us to a strip club?" I ask in astonishment.

He waves me off and looks to Kate's dad. "You know you handled yourself pretty well back there Jacob."

"I told you we'd get across." he says, staring out of the window. "Now you keep up your end." he walks away from Seth.

"Richie c'mon," Seth says, shaking his brother away. "Wake up." Richard opens his eyes groggily.

"What happened?" he asks, adjusting his glasses.

"You slipped and fell, terrible really." Seth says, lying to his brother. "We made it, let's go." Richard sits up and looks outside.

"Are you okay?" I ask him. He rubs his eyes.

"I just have a migraine." he says and I nod. Waiting for Kate to get out, I follow after her. We all step out and look around.

"How are you feeling brother?" Seth asks with a smirk on his face.

Richard looks at the club as if he's going in to bomb the place. "Never been better." he says smiling. Flames shoot up from the pillar and it looks like something straight out of a movie.

"Come on in for the all you can-lick buffet of the most beautiful, tastiest, delicacies, south of the border." a man on the steps leading up to the Titty Twister says, pointing down to where his package is. "We've got only one item on the menu that is true, we've got every flavor under the Mexican moon!"

We all walk over to the steps. "I did my part," Jacob starts. "We got you across the border. I'm not taking my children inside. We're done" he says, shaking his head.

"Fine," Seth says shrugging. "You three stay out here with the devils rejects have your own little party." he says, dangling the keys in his face. I see Kate look around, crossing her hands further to her chest.

"That wasn't the deal." Jacob protests.

"No the deal was, that we stick together until Richie and I finish our deal." I look over to Richard to see him already looking at me. I tuck my hair behind my ears and we all start walking again.

"Come on in and get it!" we watch the man on the stairs announce to everyone. "Now hold it." he stops and stares at me. "Two new items have just been added on the ala cards menu." he says stepping down and circling Kate and I, but his eyes trained on me. "Sweet, hot, cherry pie." he smirks at me and Richard steps forward in a protective manor and Jacob covers Kate.

"Yea, they're not going to be on the menu." Seth says, stopping the man.

"You leave that up to-" He's cut off by Seth punching him in the face. Kate and I look at each other in shock. He ushers us forward and we follow behind him. We step in and are faced with strippers everywhere and bikers staring at them.

"I think Masina will feel at home here." Richard snickers and I move to hit him but Scott pulls me back. We wait near the back while Seth and Richie are talking to each other. A dancer walks forward to Scott and asks for his name but her efforts to give him a dance are stopped by Jacob.

She walks over to Richard. "How about you chulo?" she asks in a seductive tone. He looks over to me before answering the woman.

"I'm not a cholo." he says, giving her a stink eye. She glares at him and walks away. Richard walks to the table and I follow him. People are whistling at the shirtless women. I look over to Kate who looks like she'd rather be at bible study than here and Scott is nodding his head to the beat.
